Blueberries, plums with a nice soft finish. Flavors are bold. Mouth feel is chewy. This is a great wine.

One of my favs from 2013. Think smoke meets cotton candy with a drizzle of savory menthol and herbs. Solid juice.

Dry bold with well balanced tannins and acidity.
Blackberries and vanilla. Let it breathe for an hour and the bouquet opened up nicely to red tart cherries. A hint of tobacco and pepper on the finish,

From the Mayacama Mountains to your glass. Smooth and very enjoyable….excellent. Full-bodied long smooth tannins. . Pleasant, chewy ripe red fruit with hints of espresso and leather. Paired well with Italian foods.

Petite Sirah is not a smaller version of Syrah. It is an offspring of Syrah and the nearly extinct French Alpine variety called Peloursin. The 2012 is definitely drinking well. Dark red, luscious with a hint of tannins . Maybe this wine can be pushed out 2 more years.
